Chicken Gnocchi Soup

One of the signature soups at The Olive Garden is their Chicken Gnocchi Soup. It’s a delicious combination of heavy cream, chicken, spinach, carrots, cheese, seasonings, and potato gnocchi with a few other ingredients sprinkled in. Instead of spending money on an expensive family dinner out, try making this meal at home for everyone to enjoy without the restaurant prices. To make it even more like the restaurant experience, pair the soup with a side salad and breadsticks for a family meal perfect for the cooler weather of fall and winter.

If you are like me and love soups, I highly recommend pinning this one now!   I make at least one batch of soup every single week, all year round, so at least 52 per year, and this one makes a repeat appearance, it’s that good.
